Fourth graders identify and label different types of polygons in real life situations. Using a digital camera, they take pictures of polygons on the school grounds, tally the number of shapes found, and answer discussion questions.

Geometry is full of shapes, figures, and corresponding things here and there. The guide shares all of the key pieces of geometric information in a nicely color-coded and labeled sheet. 

Eighth graders classify geometric figures.  In this polygon lesson, 8th graders identify given geometric figures.  They compare and contrast different polygons.  Students name line segments, identify parallel lines, and...

Many problems in life have more than one possible solution, and the same is true for advanced mathematics. Scholars solve seven problems that all have at least two solutions. Then three higher-level thinking questions challenge them to...

Leading the students to draw a representation of ellipses of planets, this handout will help understanding the planet movement around the sun.  There are ten questions about the analysis of those orbits and a conclusino specifically...

Students work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers in part one of the instructional activity. In part two, students use geoboards to construct polygons, look for patterns, and find a...

In this scales learning exercise, students find the weight of the shapes on the scale by comparing it to the other side, and make up their own problems. Students complete 5 sets of problems.

In this expression worksheet, learners evaluate equations, write equations for a specified event, and determine the perimeter of shapes, Six multi-step problems are provided on this one-page worksheet.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders answer questions about right triangles by identifying the 3 sides of the triangle. They analyze the different shapes of polygons and relate them to right triangles to find the sides using the...

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

Students see how to identify regular polygons, how to slide, turn and flip polygons, and why certain polygons tessellate better than others. Groups create a one foot square design to be used to tile the classroom. Great lesson plan!

Acute angle, line of symmetry, and vertex are a few terms you'll find in a set of 90 flashcards designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Included in the set are two types of cards; a word card printed in bold font, and a...

Learners gain an appreciation of the polygons and polyhedrons around them that make their world one of order and strength. They build polygons and polyhedrons, and then construct airplanes out of polygons.

Seventh graders participate in a polygon hunt.  In this polygon lesson, 7th graders examine how polygons are alike and different.  Students create a Venn diagram and label the sorting circles.  Students work in cooperative...

Third graders explore vocabulary associated with three dimensional figures.  In this transformations instructional activity, 3rd graders create two dimensional nets for three dimensional figures.  Students become familiar with...

Middle schoolers identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Middle schoolers cut shapes out of...

Students identify symmetrical and congruent elements in folk art. In this art and geometry lesson, students examine pictures of Masonic Plaque in the Form of a Royal Arch Tracing Board for evidence of congruent and symmetrical elements....

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

Challenge the class to utilize their knowledge of linear and quadratic functions to determine the intersection of the parent quadratic graph and linear proportional graphs. Using the pattern for the solutions, individuals develop a...

Fourth graders participate in a activity that is about the finding of different fractional sizes with the help of pattern blocks. They define the vocabulary terms of numerator and denominator. The activity also uses geometry and relates...

Scholars learn how to make a digital canvas and fill it with artwork by creating a drawing app using the canvas element. The activity requires learners to previous knowledge of arrays and return commands to draw images.

Fifth graders classify triangles. For this triangle lesson, 5th graders learn about the characteristics that make up a triangle. They are instructed through video, PowerPoint slides, and teacher-led demonstrations.

Rays and angles and Star Wars? It sounds strange, but it's actually a fun game to help fourth graders get good at measuring and identifying angles and rays with a protractor. Each pair of children chooses which Star Wars character they'd...

How are forces and motion important to a swing set? Scholars explore the concepts of force and motion using swing sets. In preparation for their own STEM design project, individuals take surveys and data from peers, complete labs on...
